Fit and length

All suspenders are designed in the Y-shape, approximately 3.5 cm wide and infinitely adjustable. Most have a total length of about 120 cm; those with elastic bands are about 110 cm. This fits almost always, both for an ideal figure and even with an XL belly as seen in the picture here.

Instructions for fastening

All suspenders with tabs or loops for buttoning onto the pants come with a set of buttons. For those with metal clips, we also include a replacement clip. You can find more about suspenders and buttoning in the Journal of the Gentleman.

Style Tip: Checkered Suspenders

That in addition to Black, Dark Blue, and White, there are also more colors - most gentlemen fortunately know this by now. The royal class: patterned suspenders, such as checked (Tartan), houndstooth, and argyle.
